Teachers Petition Govt Over Regrading, COVID-19 Allowances

The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) has petitioned the government over COVID-19 allowances and regrading. The Union said some of its members attained higher qualifications hence the need to regrade them. ARTUZ also wants the government to give teachers’ aides COVID-19 allowances arguing that they face the same risk as teachers. We present ARTUZ’s petitions in full below.
